Dallas‑Based Tequila Brands Honoring National Tequila Day
As the team’s resident tequila aficionado, I dove into Dallas’s local craft scene on National Tequila Day with enthusiasm. My parents, both Mexican immigrants, introduced me to the rich heritage of Jalisco‑grown tequila, so I’ve long cherished this spirit in both family rituals and my signature ranch water with Tajín.
Tequila’s authenticity is bound to Jalisco, and while production stays just south of the border, the brands highlighted below maintain their headquarters in Dallas, marrying local roots with Mexican heritage.
Socorro

Socorro lives up to its name (“help” in Spanish) by donating a case of clean water to a Mexican orphanage for every case sold. The line includes Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo.
Flecha Azul

Co‑founded by Mexican PGA star Abraham Ancer, Flecha Azul is a fresh entry on the list of Mexican‑owned brands. Use the store locator on its website to find Dallas retailers carrying five distinct expressions.
Piñana Loca

Piñana Loca infuses Eastern Jalisco tequila with concentrated pineapple honey for a tropical twist. Find it at local shops or at the Tipsy Alchemist in Uptown, where the bar’s Loca Rita—highlighted on the Margarita Mile—features this unique spirit with nitrogen‑blown cilantro and a jalapeño reduction.
